The feature, which already exists on the Windows Phone app, automatically uploads photos and videos captured to SkyDrive.

Users have the option to keep the original resolution or downscale to save space, as well as the ability to control whether content is uploaded over a Wi-Fi connection or using a data network.

Microsoft has also brought in improved editing and viewing in Office Mobile, and OneNote integration.

In addition, Skydrive.com has received an update that allows users to share photos on Facebook, by adding pictures to existing folders or a completely new one.

"This means you can now have photos on your iOS device uploaded automatically to SkyDrive, and then share those photos to Facebook via SkyDrive.com in just a few easy steps," Microsoft said in a blog post.
